Publisher`s Halo Reaches Out To Searchers

``that`s a sign that they`re concerned with something other than just making money.``

Rose`s wife, Mollie, has worked on the publication with her husband since the magazine`s debut three years ago.

``Bob is really the visionary,`` she says. ``I play more of a tactical role. I`m involved in subscription fullfilment, record keeping, phone calls, bookkeeping.``

Mollie, who is also employed full-time in marketing at IBM, sees the possibility of becoming even more involved as the magazine continues to grow. ``If we expand,`` she says, ``we would be able to hire more people. I`m interested in the area of childhood development, and I could see doing something along that avenue in the magazine. It`s nothing we`ve really discussed yet, but it`s an area that interests me.``

Joe Durepos forsees growth and continued success for Halo. ``If the magazine can maintain its level of commitment and standards, it will continue to have an appreciative audience,`` he said.

``He said, `If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.`

``That to me says it all. Not that Halo alone is going to create peace on Earth, but if we can strive to become peaceful individually, that`s at least a good beginning.``
